More on Used Heavy Water and Tritium

Here's a link to an interview with Gordon Edwards who heads up the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. He says measuring heavy water leaks in litres is silly, it's the amount of radioactive tritium in the water that really matters. And he has important information on why NOT replacing the heavy water at the point lepreau station (see last two posts) puts plant workers at least, if not the public, at risk.

About Me

I've done little planning, but been extraordinarily lucky. New opportunities seem to appear when I got bored, or my boss got tired of me. After teaching at high school and university, and market gardening when I went "back to the land", I spent 30 years working for the CBC, most of it when CBC had the resources to do things that mattered, not the media sweatshop its become now. Again, I was the lucky one.
